[TenTec] Eagle knobs

[dukeshifi]

A cutting blade is useful in removing those silver colored metal rings. Gently press the cutting edge into the place where the ring meets the black flange at the back of the knob. Rotate the knob a bit while pressing with the blade and the ring will come off easily. That will indeed expose the 0.050 inch Allen set screw that holds the knob to the shaft.

>> I've never had a reason to remove the knobs on my Eagle before, and now that I do I can't figure out how to do it.  They have no screws and don't pull off (as far a a can tell.)  The end of the knobs is a matte finish while the rest is glossy, so I thought maybe it pops out.  So far, no good.
